Late results of replacement of cardiac valves by dura-mater allografts. 1980

N A Stolf, and L B Puig, and E J Zerbini

Homologous dura-mater valve was employed in a series of 2.338 patients in the period between January 1971 and January 1979. A restricted group of the first 272 patients were followed-up from six to eight years. This study showed gratifying results following mitral and tricuspid valves replacement and not as satisfactory results after aortic replacement. The postoperative complications were, for mitral valve: fungal endocarditis (0.68%), bacterial endocarditis (2.56%) thromboembolism (1.36%) valve dysfunction (12.9%) and reoperation was performed in 5.12% of the cases. For aortic valve replacement there was fungal endocarditis in 1.36% of cases, bacterial endocarditis in 5.68%, valve dysfunction in 29.54% and the incidence of reoperation was 23.28%. No anticoagulants were employed in this series.

D001021 Aortic Valve The valve between the left ventricle and the ascending aorta which prevents backflow into the left ventricle. Aortic Valves,Valve, Aortic,Valves, Aortic
D001705 Bioprosthesis Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
